商品説明

メドック格付け第1級、5大シャトーの筆頭。
ボルドーの真髄を極めた究極のエレガンスを体現する、ロスチャイルド家が誇る栄光のシャトー。

メドック格付け第1級の筆頭で、左岸の王者と讃えられるシャトー・ラフィット・ロスチャイルド。第1級の首位の座を一度たりとも譲り渡したことのない不屈の栄光を誇り、圧倒的な熟成ポテンシャルを秘めています。

ボルドー5大シャトーのひとつ。17世紀、セギュール家によってブドウ畑が整備されてから銘醸ワインの造り手として評価が高まりました。その後、歴史に翻弄される困難な時代を経て、1868年にロートシルト家の手に渡ります。長い歴史の中、培われた技術と秀逸性の追求に尽力してきたシャトーのワインは、繊細さと気品にあふれ、そのきめ細やかな口当たりとエレガントな余韻には比類がありません。112ヘクタールを所有。

■2019年ヴィンテージ情報■
夏にかけて2003年以来の干ばつが続き、夢にまで見た雨が7月26日に降ったとき、私たちは喜びのあまり、雨の降る中に飛び出してみんなで踊り回ったほどです。それ以降収穫まですべてが順調に進みました。2019年はカベルネ・ソーヴィニョンが94%というクラシックなブレンドで、通常使用しない数区画のブドウが含まれます。特にアンセイヤンの区画は非常に良い仕上がりで、ワインに特別な"soul"を与えてくれたと思います。シャトー・ラフィット・ロスチャイルド、オーナー サスキア・ド・ロスチャイルド女史

One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. Wafting from the glass with arresting aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries mingled with violets, cigar box and warm spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, concentrated mid-palate framed by exquisitely powdery tannins and ripe acids, and concluding with a long, perfumed finish. This rivals the 2010 and 2016 as the greatest Lafite of the decade, and of those three vintages, it's clearly the most sensual and demonstrative out of the gates. The blend contains fully 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and attained a modest 13.4% alcohol.

Today, Chateau Lafite Rothschild amounts to some 110 hectares planted to some 900,000 vines (including 4.5 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon in Saint-Estephe). If that figure strikes readers as smaller than it used to be, that's because Lafite has ripped up some less optimally situated plots that never tended to produce wine fit for inclusion in the grand vin. As of 2021, what's more, organic conversion is underway (15 hectares are already farmed biodynamically), and hedges and flowering borders, planted with native species, now begin to break up the monoculture of the vine. Cover crops, too, have been added to the viticultural team's agronomic arsenal and are delivering good results in parcels with more humid or clay-rich soils. In the winery, Lafite is meticulously traditional: the grapes are sorted twice, once optically, and see a classical maceration in wooden and cement tanks with pump-overs and some use of the gentle "air pulse" system that disrupts the cap and oxygenates the ferment without the need for a full pump-over. Malolactic fermentation, as ever, is in tank, and the wine matures in barrels that are mostly produced in-house, with a light toast and favoring the forests of Allier and Nevers. Each vintage is racked three times, traditionally, with one egg white fining (which requires up to 8,000 eggs). As is the case almost everywhere in the M?doc, the tendency is for less and less Merlot in the assemblage. Eric Kohler describes 2019 as the ideal growing season, which saw a hydric deficit at just the right moment to precipitate ripening; and the result is a wine of irreproachable classicism and elegance. Whether the 2010, 2016 or 2019 Lafite ultimately emerges as the best of the decade is a question that well-heeled wine lovers will have immense pleasure debating over the decades to come, but it is clear that 2019 is the most sensual and aromatically expressive at an early age. It's one of the wines of the vintage.

So much sweet tobacco, Spanish cedar, dried flowers, dark mushrooms and roses. Really aromatic. This is so polished and very powerful, yet ethereal and refined at the same time. The finish goes on for minutes. Tight and harmonious. You want to drink it! So balanced, yet it will age beautifully. It will be this good forever. 94% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Better after 2031.

From: 2019 Bordeaux from Bottle: The Two Towers (Feb 2022) The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild is a mesmerizing wine that shows how compelling the vintage is on the Left Bank. Elegant, creamy and exquisitely layered, the 2019 Lafite conquers all the senses. There is tremendous density and power that belies the 12.8% alcohol, but then again, that can be the magic of Bordeaux. Classic Lafite red plum fruit, spice, cedar, licorice and rose petal linger on the striking, persistent finish. - By Antonio Galloni on February 2022
